## Tax and Zoning Maps

**The Tax Map tab displays a tax assessment map for the subject property and surrounding area, complete with block and lot numbers, and parcel dimensions.** You can use the four dropdown menus on the left to choose a specific map. For example, the **Year** menu is useful for comparing current property divisions against former divisions. These maps are typically PDF documents that can be **cropped**, **edited**, **downloaded**, **printed**, and **shared**.

**The Zoning Map tab shows how communities are divided into different districts and zones.** Similar to Tax Maps, Zoning Maps are usually PDF documents. This tab offers the same tools and functions as the Tax Map - you can can **crop**, **edit**, **download**, **print**, and **share** a Zoning Map without the need for additional software. For Zoning Maps specifically, click **Codebook** for quick access to relevant statutes related to a respective zone.

## Property Record and Property Assessment Cards

The **Property Record Card** provides fine details about a property that aren't available in the tax database. This includes such information as: square footage by floor; number of bedrooms; if the basement is finished; attached items such as decks; type of heating and cooling system; type of roof; exterior finishes; etc.

The **Property Assessment Card** is an official document issued by the city and mailed to the property owner. It provides information on assessments and actual taxes paid on a property in the previous year.
